The Cancer Survivors Network for Planned Parenthood

The Cancer Survivors Network for Planned Parenthood is a community of cancer survivors and those touched by cancer who believe in the important role Planned Parenthood plays in the prevention and detection of cancer. We are united against attacks by extreme politicians who want to eliminate access to care at Planned Parenthood health centers, which provide more than 650,000 cancer prevention and screening services each year.

Congress is Threatening Planned Parenthood’s Lifesaving Cancer Care

Nearly 650 health centers serve 2.5 million patients, and provide more than 650,000 cancer prevention and screening services each year

Nearly 72,000 people either had cancer detected early or abnormalities were identified and addressed

An estimated one in five women in the U.S. has visited a Planned Parenthood health center

Planned Parenthood’s Role in Achieving Health Equity

Black women and Latinas face greater barriers to accessing quality health care due to systemic discrimination and marginalization – often resulting in a delayed diagnosis and higher rates of breast and cervical cancer and increased mortality rates for breast cancer. Much of this could be addressed with better access to regular preventive care, including cancer screenings.
